Steve Ballmer criticizes and praises Apple Android
During his speech, the head of Microsoft Steve Ballmer (Steve Ballmer) on the importance of the annual Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco with a speech about the future achievements of the corporation was asked to compare the attractiveness of smartphones based on Windows Phone with devices running Google Android.
What is always optimistic and is known for his expressive CEO said: “When you use your phone Windows, you need not be a scientist in the computer field, as is the case with phones Android … I find it hard to get positive emotions when working with Android-phones.” It’s been said before a huge audience, a huge portion of which are Android-devices, without being scientists.
But in order not to bring suspicion on the path of development chosen Microsoft Windows Phone, he added: «Apple [iPhone] – a good contender, but a few other”. He praised the recent innovation of Apple – «modest personal assistant» Siri, a built-in iPhone 4S for voice control of many functions of a smartphone that has advanced the analysis of the commands in the form of speech.
But Ballmer added: “Both [the phone, iPhone, Windows Phone,] comfortable in your hand and they both look great physically … but when you pick up the phone and Windows use it … the information in front of you … and do not need to dissipate and sea icons the like. ” Learn more about !
Mr. Ballmer also said that Windows phones should be aids to better compete with Android and costs necessary to produce more and cheaper models. In addition, he strongly objected to Microsoft’s own smart phones produced by the example of Apple iPhone. “We [only] focus on supporting hardware innovations … We have made great strides in this direction and will continue this practice.”
Criticism of the head of Microsoft’s Android just proves that wealthy people can afford to be dissatisfied with anything, even if it brings them up to $ 15 profit on a cross-licensing agreements. But seriously speaking, smartphones such as HTC Titan on the basis of Mango, show that Windows Phone does have great potential and operating in some areas is much easier to understand than Android. If the sale of WP-devices will be on the rise, including with the support of Nokia, although the output of solutions based on Android 4.0, then the words of Steve Ballmer will not seem so unreasonable.
